@tenbillionswans @LouisABlanqui you guys are like the fucking borg, can you read anything besides hegel?

perhaps the revolutionary subject isn't the worker demanding recognition for her labor, but the person who no longer accepts labor as the foundation of her worth

[Communist Front Of The Dispossessed @LouisABlanqui]

I’ve seen only one post about the need for proletarian self-activity goin forward under Lula, but what absolutely no one wants to think about is how the regime can possibly stop repressing the proletariat from the favelas to the Amazon.

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@tenbillionswans @LouisABlanqui "proletarian self-activity" dawg you might as well be talking about the passion of christ for fucks sake

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@tenbillionswans @LouisABlanqui i understand that we're talking past each other but you're the ones completely missing the point here, and demeaning me for my supposed lack of comprehension. can you fucking read?

@LouisABlanqui i haven't assumed anything. your positions are clear and highly searchable. you're a marxist, are you not? you can't detach yourself from the whole legacy and history of marxism without leaving in the dustpan and that's what i'm here pleading with you to do. anarchism is more fun

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

the masses make the revolution easily. soviets, factory committees, peasant seizures. marxists seize those institutions, suppress autonomy, and rebuild a hierarchy of rulers and ruled. marxism is the art of converting proletarian self-activity into state power

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

no one manages a revolution better than marxists. you enter the breach of dual power as prophets of emancipation, capture its institutions, and turn the abolition of class rule into a new ruling class. and then the revolution survives only as the state's founding myth

[Communist Front Of The Dispossessed @LouisABlanqui]

@GhostWaqf In fact you don’t seem to understand at all. What I’m saying is that TP can only manage capitalism, and won’t allow the dispossessed classes to abolish it, and will fail to limit the depredations of industrial and agricultural capital at bay for very long.

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@LouisABlanqui a favela or amazonian tribe doesn't lose its autonomy because capital can reach it. you're mistaking and conflating vulnerability for nonexistence. meanwhile marxist states have governed capital, from lenin's NEP to china's reforms. so whose politics merely manages capitalism?

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@LouisABlanqui you tokenize favelas too, another kind of wilderness. together, they illustrate what i mean. wilderness isn't the absence of social order, but the possibility of social orders not exhausted by the institutions claiming authority over them. i think you've missed that

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@LouisABlanqui understand just fine, thanks. despite being early and having no coffee

you're not just (racially) criticizing tribalism as an inadequate form of social organization. you're going even further and asserting a structural necessity for it's repression. while tokenizing the Amazon

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@clinicalwstmn @LouisABlanqui a very limited numbers of contemporary thinkers understand tribalism and how deeply integrated it is into the human being. tribalism is an enduring human tendency. denying it is not wise. denial makes it less conscious, less accountable, & much more dangerous

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

@LouisABlanqui yeah, heard. that language isn't any better

can't stand how difficult marxism makes challenging itself with its own vocabulary

politics, including of exploitation/deprivation, will always remain reactive

economic superfluity is more conducive to autonomy than mass movements

@Angrynuwupotato @Terrilltf mango contains myrcene, which supposedly boosts THC, but it hasn't been shown. putting mango juice in a bong won't get you higher. it just adds sugar, sticky residue, and bacteria risk. aka pneumonia. eat the mango, or a high-fat meal (does boost THC), & smoke through clean water

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

interesting how a genealogy can be disputed after recording. thinking about disputes over al-Qalqashandi's account of fatimid descent. it exposes a basic historical problem regarding whether a historian can endorse a claim, truly qualify it, or merely transmit it

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

the qur'an says Allah is not questioned for what He does (21:23), yet wrongs no one even an atom's weight (4:40). divine sovereignty and divine justice are not alternatives here. the difficulty is explaining what "justice" means when Allah cannot be judged

[ghostwaqf.com @GhostWaqf]

Gabriel Reynolds argues that the first hijra to Christian Ethiopia may be a story built to enact Qur'an 5:82-83, where Christians weep at revelation. The sharper question is when scripture generates the history later cited to explain it @GabrielSaidR
